Which it might have been, I didn't check that (easy to do with a revolver).<br /><br />Jules - And it wasn't much money. That's why I realized how stupid criminals are.

I'd rather get minimum wage.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752593286034877538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-19204573178781814132009-05-23T06:41:58.583-04:002009-05-23T06:41:58.583-04:00S'only money.
